Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it.

—— Billings Learned Hand

自由存在于人们的心中；自由死亡时，任何宪法、法律或法庭都救不了它，也帮不了它。

——比林斯·勒尼德·汉德

For you

Liberty can only be safeguarded by people’s will and effort. Even if it is written into the constitution, it is possible to be changed as well as the constitution. 只有人类的意志和努力才能捍卫自由。自由即使被写进宪法，也可能连同宪法一起被修改。
